“Township trustees Tuesday adopted on second reading a new ordinance tightening rules and giving local police and prosecutors broader powers to strike back against law-breakers who misuse replicas or facsimiles of handguns, shotguns, machine guns, rocket launchers and other toy weapons,” hometownlife.com reports. Hold on. Canton, Michigan’s town fathers have passed an ordinance (so to speak) against toy rocket launchers? “Canton has joined other communities in firing back against the misuse of fake guns, which Public Safety Director Patrick Nemecek said have been used to harass people most commonly in traffic altercations — increasing the chances of serious accidents.” So if you cut someone off in Canton they threaten you with a rocket launcher? “An offender who uses a fake gun to frighten or threaten someone could potentially land in jail for 90 days and face a $500 fine.” That’ll learn ’em!
